How to Make Coconut Cream Cheese Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter or margarine, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon water. Mix until just combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut evenly over the cake mixture.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the coconut layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and serving.
